Biography
Franklin Jurado was a vital asset of the Cali Cartel; he spoke five languages, became Director of Interamerica (the bank used by the Cali leadership), and married a Harvard-educated American woman before moving to Colombia with her. He managed the accounts held by the cartel in Bogota, and his name was given to the United States when a computer glitch at a Monaco bank revealed that the cartel's company had multiple accounts of less than $10,000 each (to avoid attracting heat for money laundering). In 1994, the DEA began to investigate Jurado for his involvement with the cartel's financial connections.
